I think my product displays some aspects of emergent ideology, my main character is a female and in the opening sequence we see her doing dangerous but slightly exciting things, this would usually be a man's role and the woman would be doing something safe like housework.
I feel that I have given a different representation of women than most films would, films with women as the main character are usually chick flicks, I feel my film represents women as more daring, but sensitive at the same time.
I think that the font shows how women are portrayed in my film, instead of delicate, floral writing, my font is bold and quite plain. This connotes that women are not all ways as feminine as they are portrayed in most films, but can be bold and tough.
I feel the sound could also be used to show how women are being represented differently; instead of upbeat pop music connoting that girls are bouncy and happy, I chose downbeat acoustic guitar music to connote the dark, tortured side of my main character.
The props used in the film are props that you would normally not associate with the type of women that are usually portrayed in films: needles, lighters, tobacco etc all connote a sense of danger and attitude.
I also think that in some ways class is represented in my film, it is clear to see from the mise-en-scene and costume that the main character is quite poor. I do not feel as though I have challenged the stereotypical representation of class because it is quite common for lower class people to be portrayed as drug addicts, living in messy houses, wearing dirty clothes etc.
I feel as though my representation of teenagers is quite a typical stereotypical representation; teenagers are irresponsible, drug users, dangerous, violent etc. My character fit's in quite well with this general stereotype, she is irresponsible and reckless.
